My regular barber was out of town yesterday and I was in dire need of a haircut. I decided to google what was nearby and by fluke came across Royal Fades. I read up the reviews and decided to book an appointment. Knowing this was last minute I didn't think they'd be able to see me but Karl B. was able to fit me in for 4:45 pm.
When I first walked in I was greeted by Matthew the owner. My first impressions was how friendly this place was. It was clean, professional and speakers bumpin' Hip Hop and R&B. As I sat down and waited for my turn, I did a quick scan of the place and and noticed a pool table in the back room, TV tuned to the Raptors v. Cavs game 4 replay and a PS3 sitting in front of me. They definitely try to make their customers feel comfortable and entertained. They probably have Free WiFi too, but I didn't check.
Karl was friendly and made sure to ask me what I wanted and how I liked it cut. Customer satisfaction was certainly his focus. His attention to detail was uncanny and from what I saw from the other guys cutting other people's hair they all take time and pride in what they do.This ain't no in and out $10 Chinatown salon.
Overall I had a great experience with Royal Fades and well definitely be coming back. Their prices are reasonable and have a variety other services.
Anyone in the East end of Markham/Scarborough should definitely check these guys out.
